After Thursday's weigh-in, Taylor took the opportunity to praise Serrano as a 'fantastic' opponent.
'It's going to be an iconic night, we've put on two iconic fights already,' she said.
'Amanda is a fantastic champion, we have a lot of respect toward each other.'
Taylor also thanked her supporters back home in Ireland.
'You guys have been with me through the highs and lows of the sport,' she said.
'From the bottom of my heart, I love you all.'
The pair's first meeting as a thrilling all-action contest at Madison Square Garden in 2022, which the Irish fighter won by split decision.
The rivals came face to face at a press conference on Wednesday, where Taylor told Serrano she was sick of the Puerto Rican's 'whining and complaining' about the results of their last two bouts.

'The only thing that matters is that I'm 2-0 against her,' Taylor told the press conference.
'I plan on staying unbeaten against her.'
During their last fight, Serrano received a bad cut above her eye in the fourth round, which was attributed to an accidental headbutt.
Taylor was deducted a point in the eighth round after repeatedly being warned against leading with the head.
When asked what she planned on improving in the latest rematch, Serrano said: 'I'm gonna use my head, but not the way it was used on me.
'We're going to be smarter, work smarter.'

How Happy Gilmore made golf sexy
In 2015, the actor Christopher McDonald attended the US Open and found himself in a private box with Tiger Woods. Professional golfers know McDonald for playing Shooter McGavin, the smug, sneering villain of Adam Sandler 's beloved 1996 golf comedy, Happy Gilmore. He also returns for the long-anticipated sequel, which is now streaming on Netflix. While golf enthusiasts would usually pester Woods for a selfie, in this case it was the other way round. Woods – a 15-time major tournament winner – wanted a photo with the one and only Shooter McGavin. Such is the cult reputation of Happy Gilmore in the golfing world. 'We did a selfie and it wound up on the internet with a bunch of funny headlines,' McDonald later told Vulture. 'My favourite was, 'Greatest Golfer in the World Takes Picture with Tiger Woods.'' In the original film, Happy Gilmore (Sandler) is a failed, short-fused ice hockey player who turns to golf when he discovers a knack for hitting a 400-yard drive. He enters the PGA Tour for the prize money, to save his sweet (but tax-dodging) grandmother's repossessed house, and causes chaos in the usually stuffy sport – swearing, fighting, and throwing his clubs around the green. The character was inspired by Kyle McDonough, a childhood friend of Sandler's and a former hockey player. In the years since its 1996 release, golf pros have copied Happy's signature tee-off shot – a running, hockey-powered swing – and golfers have lined up for a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. It's little wonder. Happy Gilmore – the definitive Adam Sandler comedy – gave the sport a sense of humour. It's the film that finally gave golf a bit more edge. '[Did it make it] a bit sexier and trendier? I think, yes, absolutely it did!' Kyle McDonough – the original Happy Gilmore – tells me now. 'Not everybody who loves Happy Gilmore plays golf, but I think everybody who actually likes golf loves the film.' Sandler and McDonough have been friends since the first grade (6-7 years old) and then lived just three blocks away from each other in Manchester, New Hampshire. As teenagers they would play golf with Sandler's father. McDonough, who played ice hockey from the age of five, could always drive the ball much farther down the fairway – though not quite as far as the 400-yard drives seen in the movie. 'His father would say, 'What's with those wrists? That's something to do with that hockey background… there's something there,'' recalls McDonough, 59, now a history teacher in New Hampshire. Did McDonough agree with Sandler Sr's theory, that hockey was the reason he hit the ball farther? 'It made sense to me,' he says. 'The core, the hand-eye coordination… I wasn't going to argue. And, hey, it helped my golf game! It was a good enough theory.' He adds: 'I've played golf with a lot of hockey players who can really hit the ball. But do we always know where it's going? No…' How far could McDonough really hit the ball? 'A little later on, I was invited to a tournament,' he says. 'I had to borrow Adam's father's clubs. I won the long drive contest in that tournament. I hit that right near the green. It was 300-something yards.' McDonough recalls that after a stint playing pro ice hockey in Scotland, Sandler called him and told him that he was planning to make a movie inspired by his friend's talent. McDonough gave Sandler advice on the world of hockey and hockey players. In the film, Happy Gilmore isn't particularly good at hockey or ice skating – all he can do is whack the puck and whack the opposing players. McDonough admits he could be tough and sweary on the ice, but that's where the similarities end. 'I was a tough hockey player but I wasn't Happy tough,' he says. 'I wouldn't stab people with skates… but I led the league in penalties when I played in Norway. I guess you say there's a little Happy in me.' Sandler began working on Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s and moved into movies. Following the similarly-spirited Billy Madison (1995) – about a slacker who goes back to school – Happy Gilmore was one of his early breakout films, establishing Sandler's volatile, sweet-natured man-child schtick. During filming, Sandler turned to Mark Lye, a pro golfer-turned-broadcaster, for advice on the golfing world. Lye protested about some story elements that he thought were mocking the sacred game and the hallowed ground of Augusta National, the club where the Masters Tournament is held. Lye insisted they remove the inclusion of the coveted green jacket, traditionally worn by the winner of the Masters, so Happy competes for a fictitious gold jacket instead. Lye also arranged for the crew to attend a PGA Tour event to get a feel for what golf was really like. Happy Gilmore is a far from realistic depiction, though. Golf experts have had some fun picking apart its numerous golfing inaccuracies, from scoreboard errors to Happy's hockey stick-shaped Odyssey putter. (Odyssey has released a hockey stick putter to coincide with the sequel). But the film is ultimately about loosening up golf's prim-and-proper disposition. 'Golf has been waiting for a player like this,' says Virginia Venit (Julie Bowen), the golf publicist-turned-love interest. 'A colourful, emotional working-class hero.' Happy's antics draw new fans to golf. In the movie, one golf commentator describes the newfound fans as an 'economically diverse crowd'. And anecdotally, at least, a similar trend took place in real life: Happy Gilmore brought the formerly upper-crust sport to the masses. Happy Gilmore isn't the only iconic golf comedy. Caddyshack (1980), starring Chevy Chase and Bill Murray, scored a hole in one for the previous generation of golfing fans. But Caddyshack didn't stick a flag into the golfing culture in the same way as Happy Gilmore. Golf websites such as Golf Digest are packed with articles on Happy Gilmore (with particular love for Shooter McGavin), and attempting the wild Happy Gilmore swing has become a staple for golfing pros. Irish golfer Pádraig Harrington is particularly well known for doing it. Harrington performed the swing at the 2014 PGA Championship. 'Look, it's second nature to me,' he said. 'I grew up playing hurling so I've never had a second thought about doing a Happy Gilmore – running up, hitting it.' The Happy Gilmore swing is technically legal, though the R&A golf authority gave a snooty opinion on it back in 2012, telling CNN that there was a concern about 'whether it fits with the etiquette of the game as defined in the rules. Players must have respect for the course itself and perhaps this shot lends itself to increased likelihood of damage to the course.' Rick Shiels, a British PGA pro and golf YouTuber, made a video about the Happy Gilmore swing ('One of my favourite films of all time,' he said) to see if the technique actually helps hit the ball further. He managed to wallop the ball an impressive 337 yards, at a speed of 120mph. McDonough is amused at the idea his long drives inadvertently inspired the pros. 'I saw three or four of them all doing it at the same time, I guess it's kind of a ritual.' McDonough is likely referring to a 2021 video in which Team TaylorMade – a group of sponsored pros including Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy – marked 25 years of Happy Gilmore by wearing his iconic hockey shirt and trying the big Happy drive. The big swing isn't the only part of Happy's game that's influenced real golfers. In 2022, Spencer Levin used a Happy-style putting technique – holding the club with a split grip, with one hand much lower than usual – at the Shriners Open, making his first PGA Tour cut in five years. And just last week at the Scottish Open, American pro Scottie Scheffler was compared to Happy for outstretching his arms in disbelief when a putt veered off to the left. Scheffler is among numerous golfers who have cameos in Happy Gilmore 2, along with Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, and Nelly Korda. McDonough also has a cameo as a caddy. For McDonough, it's a fun legacy – particularly in his job as a history teacher. Every year the younger students hear the rumours that he's the basis for Happy. 'Rumours fly around from the older kids,' he says. 'By the end of the year they ask me directly, 'Is that true?' Sometimes I play around and say, 'That doesn't sound like me.' They look it up and I get a bit more street cred when they realise it's true.' It's telling that Happy Gilmore is still an unlikely sporting hero for younger generations. Almost thirty years on, Happy Gilmore's popularity keeps on swinging – from the golfing green and beyond.

Kilmarnock defender Corrie Ndaba looks destined to complete Lecce switch
Kilmarnock defender Corrie Ndaba looks set to seal a move to Serie A side Lecce. The 25-year-old joined Killie on a three-year deal last summer after a spell on loan from Ipswich in the 2023-24 campaign and made 38 appearances last term. Amid speculation that he was heading for Italy, Ndaba was not involved as the Ayrshire side sealed their place in the second round of the Premier Sports Cup with a 4-0 home win over East Fife. And on Saturday evening, Lecce posted on X a picture of the Irish defender holding a club scarf, accompanied by a short statement indicating that he was poised to sign for them. 'The footballer Corrie Ndaba arrived in Bressanone in the late afternoon, where he began undergoing medical examinations that will be completed on Monday,' it read. As Ndaba heads for the exit, Killie are welcoming the emergence of a new talent, Ben Brannan. The 18-year-old took his tally for the season to three when he scored a double from left-wing-back in the win over East Fife, adding to earlier strikes from summer signings Marcus Dackers and Djenairo Daniels. 'We speak about him kind of coming flat off that left-hand side onto his stronger right foot,' manager Stuart Kettlewell said in a club interview. 'He's been more accustomed, quite clearly, to playing on the right-hand side. 'But when you look at a young academy player and somebody that's coming in for his first games for this football club, I don't know that you can ask too much more. 'We think he can be a really promising player and a really promising talent for the football club. And what it does is it just continues to kind of pave the way that there's opportunities here for a lot of other young players.' Brannan went off injured in the closing stages but Kettlewell said: 'We think it's just a bit of spasm in his thigh. 'It was obviously uncomfortable at the time, but he was moving about far better when we went back into the dressing room, so fingers crossed he's fit and available for next week and moving into the first league game.'

Maeve Kyle, pioneering Olympian who inspired a generation of Irish women to follow in her footsteps
Kyle, who died this week at the age of 96, was a coach, administrator and international team manager, as well as a mentor to so many, both on and off the track. In the seven decades since the 1956 Melbourne Games, many Irish women have donned the green vest on the Olympic stage, but Kyle was the first to do so in athletics, carving a path where none had existed, leaving a trail that so many would follow. As Athletics Ireland stated in its tribute, Kyle was 'a true pioneer of Irish sport and one of our most iconic and inspirational athletes'. Born in Kilkenny in 1928, Kyle (nee Shankey) studied at Alexandra College and Trinity College in Dublin but lived most of her adult life in Co Antrim, settling in Ballymena with her husband Sean. In 1955, they founded Ballymena and Antrim Athletics Club, where she continued to coach well into her 80s. Hockey Ireland described her as a 'standout figure' who earned 46 international caps and a place on the World All-Star team in 1953 and 1959. Kyle also competed in tennis, swimming, sailing and cricket, but she was most renowned for her feats on the track. At the 1956 Melbourne Olympics and the 1960 Games in Rome, she raced in the 100m and 200m, while at Tokyo in 1964, she competed in the 400m and 800m. In 1966, Kyle won 400m bronze at the European Indoors in Dortmund. To truly appreciate her legacy, it's crucial to understand the battle she faced just to make the start line. Ireland was a very different place during her career, with Kyle telling the Irish Independent in 2013 that female athletes were viewed similar 'to how the Taliban view Muslim women'. Archbishop of Dublin John Charles McQuaid had stated that women who sought to compete in the vicinity of men were 'un-Irish and un-Catholic'. Kyle rebelled against such archaic beliefs, with long-time Irish athletics team manager Patsy McGonagle telling Donegal Live that she 'wasn't afraid of going to war: I remember her going to the door of the Bishop's Palace and tackling [McQuaid], who wouldn't let women take part in nationals'. The Irish star of the Melbourne Games was Ronnie Delany, who won 1500m gold, and he had a lifelong friendship with Kyle, writing the foreword to The Remarkable Kyles, a book about her and Sean. 'I admire Maeve greatly, because of her contribution to sport close on six decades,' Delany wrote. 'Her own achievements are well-chronicled, but what isn't known is the enormous respect people like me hold for Maeve and how we appreciate her in person to this very day. What a wonderful contribution she made to sport.' Kyle was a life vice-president of Athletics Ireland and president of the Northern Ireland Athletic Federation in an era when female sports administrators were especially rare. As former Athletics Ireland president Liam Hennessy said, she and Sean were 'so incredibly enthusiastic, so articulate and they covered every aspect of the sport'. Maeve Kyle played a pivotal role in the area during the Troubles. 'She reached out to everybody,' John Stuart, president of Ballymena and Antrim AC, said. 'There were no boundaries whatsoever. The coaches and community in Ballymena will never forget her, and they will ensure her work will be an encouragement to young people in the future.' At the 1960 Rome Olympics, Kyle shared breakfast with an 18-year-old US boxer, Cassius Clay, four years before he became Muhammad Ali. She described him as a 'lovely guy' and in the decades that followed, she developed her own iconic status in her sport, returning to the Olympics in Sydney 2000 as an Irish team coach, passing on lessons she had learned across a lifetime in sport. Maeve Kyle is predeceased by her husband Sean and is survived by her daughter Shauna.
